We report herein the crystal structure of the ionic complex [1-H-2-dmap]2[CoCl4], (C7H11N2)2[CoCl4]. The pseudotetrahedrally coordinated CoCl42- anion has Co-Cl distances ranging from 2.2614 (10) to 2.2914 (10) Å. Two crystallographically distinct, mono-protonated N,N-dimethyl-2-pyridin-1H-iumamine cations serve as non-coordinating but hydrogen bonded counterions which cause slight distortion of the anion.
